Anyone ttc without any ovulation problems??

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any tips or advice. Have been ttc for over a year now, have had all the blood tests done and everything is normal. I can get a + on the opk around day 16 / 17 and my bbt says I ovulate on day 17 (ish).. I've also had a scan to check lining of womb, ovaries etc all that was OK too... But nothing yet!!! (OH has been tested too, all OK there!!)It is so frustrating and devastating each month when AF raises it's ugly head!!! Have an appointment to see Fertility Clinic on June 11th..... just wondering what people experiences of the first appointment has been. Whjat people have been told, mwhether any of you have had anything else come up that it could be..... I am thinking blocked tube!!!Any advise or words of experience would be of help!!

Hi babyhope, Didn't want to r&R but don't know how useful I'll be. 1st appt for me, was an internal and swabs. They took history and I had an impromptu internal ultrasound. Further down the line I had a HSG to check if tubes ok. Take it a step at a time, try not to worry, (easier said than done I know), and best of luck.xx

Thanks for your advice on that. I didn't know if it was just a chat..... to be fair I had enough chats about it with my Doctor over the past year, I'm hoping it's not just another chat about what to do next. Can I ask what a HSG test is? Is it the xray with the dye?

i thought it was. Does any one know if my tubes are blocked, what my options are?? Is it straight to IVF or is there anyway to unblock them? Doesn't help that I met one of my husbands friends wife yesterday, who has a little boy, had an eptopic pregancy last year and lost one of her tubes... was told that conceiving again would be hard and she fell pregnant on her first try!!! Happy for her obviously, but it does leave you thinking....why us???

hello mrs this is me! Perfect 28 days cycles, funny bleeding though but all tests indicate all ok and cbfm peaks every month, still awaiting results from oh two sa's but we conceived my son (a suprise) on a one night of forgetting to get condoms so I know that we both can do it but 18 months on no number 2 WTF? I'm same as you in that would just love a reason why so could get a solution

This is me too! We have been trying for 18 months. I've got regular cycles, always get a good result on ovulation predicter kits and all my bloods are fine. The first thing they did when I went to the fertility clinic was book a HSG - also fine. No blockages. At the next appointment, doc did an trans-vaginal scan to check for PCOS. All fine there. He also booked me in for a Laparoscopy, I had that last wed. That also showed I had no endometriosis etc - all fine. So basically - we are probably 'unexplained infertility.' Though am waiting for my follow up appointment to confirm this. Not sure what's next but I feel your frustration. Hang in there. Don't assume blocked tubes as I was fine on that despite fearing the worst

And me! Just the same story. All tests, including HB's and my HSG have come back fine. We're now on to fertility treatment having been labeled with unexplained infertility. We've had one cycle of IUI (which didn't work) and are in the middle of our second cycle. If that doesn't work we move on to IVF.

I agree it is really hard having no reason that things aren't working and last month was particularly hard as through the IUI we knew I definitely ov'd, had a scan which showed I had a couple of good follicles and DH's sample was again fine and yet it still didn't work. I try to look on the bright side though and think thatit will happen sooner or later since there's no obvious reason for it not to. I would really like to know what the problem is though as I assume there must be one somewhere.

Lots of luck with your next appointment. Our first one was a chat to plan tests / treatment - unfortunatly nothing moves very fast with these things but we all get there in the end. Do you mind if I ask how old you are? I'm 36, so that may well be a part of the problem with us I guess, though I was only 34 when we started all this!

Well it looks like we're all in the same boat then. Glad know it's not just me who feels this frustrated. I suppose I'm a little more worried as I'll be 36 at the end of next month, and we've been trying since I was 34 also.We've also said it will happen one day hopefully!! I'm really hoping that my tubes are fine, but as I've said before at the same time it would be an explaination if they find out they are not. At least then we can put a plan of action in place x Keep in touch x
